Fort Wayne Speeding Tickets

Need help fighting a traffic fine? - Call me today at (260) 833-7249!

One of the most common and notorious traffic violations is the speeding
ticket. The law restricts drivers to a specific speed. For example, you
are prohibited from
driving faster than 70 MPH on the highway or 30 MPH in any urban area, unless otherwise noted. Indiana also enforces a presumed speed limit
due to necessary weather conditions or road damage, expecting drivers
to be responsible. IN § 9-21-5-1 reads "a person may not drive
a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent
under the conditions, having regard to the actual and potential hazards
then existing." This means that even if you adhere to the posted
speed limits, you could still receive a ticket for
driving recklessly during hazardous times.

When you are issued a ticket, there may be extenuating circumstances that
would give you grounds to fight it. Arguing with a police officer on the
spot may not be wise, but afterwards you may realize that your driver's
license and insurance rates could be at risk. Drivers should contact a
Fort Wayne traffic defense lawyer as soon as possible. An experienced
attorney may be able to help you the fight fines, penalties and license
suspension that you could be facing. Simply paying the fee to avoid court
could lead to a license suspension down the road. If you are issued too
many tickets in a certain period of time, you could also lose your right
to drive entirely, costing you time, money and potentially employment.
Enlisting the support of a skilled traffic ticket attorney may help you
avoid unnecessary penalties.

Am I facing more than just a fine?

The state of Indiana provides differing penalties for first-time speeders
and multiple offenders. For drivers facing their first violation, they
will most likely be fined $50 to $500, depending on the speed zone (urban
or highway) and the amount the limit is exceeded by. For example, a driver
going 85 MPH on the highway marked with 65 MPH regulations may receive
a less severe penalty than a driver going 55 MPH in a residential area
of 30 MPH. The violator also faces a potential license suspension for
up to five years in the case of severe speeding. Reckless driving penalties
are more severe, garnering up to $1,000 in fines, license suspension and
potential jail time. Indiana also upholds the "absolute" speed
limit law where the general 5 MPH cushion is not accepted. If you are
going 1 MPH over the designated restriction, you are breaking the law-which
gives officers the power to issue you a ticket. There is also the danger
of driving the appropriate speed limit in unsafe circumstances. Whether
it's heavy traffic or wet roads, drivers are expected to act responsibly.
This could be difficult to discern at times, and may be the source of
your speeding ticket.

If you receive more than 12 points in two years, you could be placed on
probation and subjected to a possible
license suspension or revocation. Speeding 16-25 MPH over the speed limit will result in
four points, while reckless driving or a speed contest are between six
and eight points. It only takes two or three speeding tickets to acquire
12 points on your license. Losing your right to drive will cost you time,
convenience and money. Don't let speeding tickets rest on your license;
fight to have the points removed today with the help of a Fort Wayne traffic
ticket lawyer. You will need a skilled attorney to help you fight the
ticket or violation you are facing. I have the courtroom experience to
